Officer Shahi?

Those of you already in pre-mourning over the absence of Sarah Shahi as Carmen on season 4 of The L Word, take heart. NBC recently announced that Shahi will co-star in Life, a pilot about “a cop who rejoins the force after having been wrongly imprisoned for several years.” Actor Damian Lewis plays the lead, and Shahi will play his partner “with a checkered past.”

Hmm. A “checkered past?” That’s vague. I’m sure they’re not referring to the fact that Shahi’s Carmen had copious amounts of steamy sex with women on cable TV. Nah, that couldn’t be it. Maybe it’s the cheerleader thing Ã¢â‚¬Â¦
